Yesterday I got to see GRADE, last time I saw them was 13 years ago. They were amazing.

Today I'm making some chicken chili and starting a "job" search.

Holy **** I totally forgot about them. Awesome that you got to see them!

I've got a three-day pass for Riot Fest which is in a couple weeks. I'm so excited, it's like I'm in high school/college all over again with this lineup.

I love that guy. Wait, is he the one with the Draft?

I just found out that if Lance gets the seven yellow jerseys taken away, six of the people that would receive them have either admitted to doping, been convicted of doping or a related offense, or made a financial agreement to have charges dismissed. How does that make any difference?

Today I learned that if you go somewhere with really crappy wifi, try to watch youtube videos and have the buffering circle of dots come up you can control the dots like in Tron with your cursor keys.

jimmytango 08-27-12 10:56 AM

Ha. That's great.

Oh, I am definitely celebrating tonight. I just would have rather started last night but it was my first day of classes today at 7 AM. However, I did sit around and have a few beers with a couple friends, but that's not exactly what I meant when I said "celebrate." :P It's definitely on tonight!

jimmytango 08-27-12 11:41 AM

I just got some news that normally would make me super sad, but I'm completely ok with it. Hrm... I kinda like this whole "not being super stressed, and actually liking life" thing.

use something gnarlier like xylene, toluene (paint remover) or gasoline.

just be careful for sparks and do it in a well ventilated area.

It gets better, dude. Don't worry. Just make sure you focus on other things. Do as much stuff as you can to keep yourself busy, and most importantly, socialize with FRIENDS. Don't look for a hook up.

I wholeheartedly agree. Going out and ****ing someone simply to make yourself feel better is stupid.

more true.

youve gotta take your mind off of her, stop romanticizing the good times and think about the reasons why the relationship failed.

i dont know if you read ******, but ******.com/r/breakups and ******.com/r/relationships may be helpful.
